Harita Bhadra: India’s second-fastest woman, Asian Games-bound sprinter who runs a jewellery brand and idolises Rafael Nadal

At 23, Bhadra is heading to her first international competition after a breakthrough domestic season that has included a 23.14-second 200m, a national indoor 60m title and an 11.22-second 100m. She will compete in the 200m and 4x100m relay at the Asian Games alongside Unnathi Bollanda. Away from athletics, Bhadra runs a handmade jewellery brand, admires Rafael Nadal and keeps her focus firmly on just one day at a time.
